The three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building at 400 28th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1925, has undergone significant recent improvements and maintenance work. Most notably, in 2024, substantial electrical upgrades were completed, including a 400-amp service upgrade and new sub-panels for multiple units (3, 4, and 10), along with plumbing improvements involving clay pipe replacement.

The building's safety systems received attention in 2023-2024, with a completed fire alarm system upgrade and annual fire inspections showing generally resolved issues, though a recent fire extinguisher complaint was marked "No Merit." Historical records indicate the building has maintained reasonable upkeep, with past major works including a voluntary seismic upgrade (2013), window replacements (1995), and various structural and safety improvements. The property's maintenance history shows attention to both building systems and resident comfort, with recent permits indicating ongoing renovations to units 3 and 10, including kitchen remodeling and layout enhancements. While there has been one cluster of violations in 2003 related to fire safety, plumbing, and electrical systems, these were promptly addressed within two months.

The building has experienced several fire department responses, mostly for invalid assists and general service calls, with no reported civilian injuries from any incidents. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to exterior maintenance issues such as graffiti and sidewalk cleaning, which have been resolved through proper channels. The current owner, Walter Fong Bypass Tr, has maintained an active role in overseeing necessary upgrades and addressing property needs, as evidenced by the numerous completed permits and prompt attention to system upgrades and repairs.
